Diners at Olive Garden just sort of take for granted the fact that when they sit down, they’ll be treated to free salad and breadsticks. Or Neverending Pasta Bowls or unlimited soup.
But how did we get here? Stuff like this doesn’t just happen. Someone has to make it happen.
And that someone may very well be a government relations manager:

There’s a lobby for everything these days. Why not breadsticks?

Excuse me, in this case the “free soup salad and breadstick lobby”

OK, why not a soup, salad, and breadstick lobby? Or is there a soup lobby, a salad lobby, and a breadstick lobby? We have so many questions!
past time to break up big breadsticks

Can big breadstick be stopped?

Do … do we want to stop them? Who doesn’t like breadsticks? Especially unlimited free ones?
Everyone needs a lobbyist, including those who supply our unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks. https://t.co/TE6hDmugxi

Exactly. Exactly!
Olive Garden's parent company, Darden Restaurants, spent $440,000 on lobbying last year https://t.co/ac2Aqrqyb7 https://t.co/7tg8Xtl0qc

That’s $440,000 more than we would’ve guessed.
Never ending lobbying. https://t.co/HKjXjbg8Zn

Olive Garden GR manager: "maybe this endless bowl of pasta will change your mind"

The opportunities for growth are as endless as their pasta bowls. So, who’s gonna apply?
Do they provide health care…wait, why am I asking, I don't care. https://t.co/MNfgJYPZ9N

Hey, man. You could do a whole lot worse than Big Breadstick. Normally politics are an appetite suppressant. This would be totally different.
We say go for it!
